ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified elec-
trical installer determine that the ground path
and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is
used, it is recommended that a qualified elec-
trician determine that the ground path is ad-
equate.
Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire
size are adequate and in conformance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-lat-
est edition and all local codes and ordinances.
A copy of the above code standards can be
obtained from: National Fire Protection Asso-
ciation, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
To properly install your range, you must deter-
mine the type of electrical connection you will
be using and follow the instructions provided
for it here.
• Range must be connected to the proper
electrical voltage and frequency as specified
on the model/serial number rating plate.
(The model/serial number rating plate is
located on the oven frame behind the stor-
age drawer panel.)
• When a 4-wire or 3-wire, single phase 120/
240-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only electrical supply is
available, a 50 amp maximum circuit protec-
tion is required (or, if specified on the model/
serial rating plate, when a 4-wire or 3-wire
single phase 120/208-volt 60 Hz, AC-only
electrical supply is available, a 40 amp maxi-
mum circuit protection is required), fused on
both sides of the line.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recom-
mended.
• The range can be connected directly to the
fused disconnect (or circuit breaker box)
through flexible, armored or nonmetallic
sheathed, copper or aluminum cable.
• Allow 2 to 3 ft. of slack in the line so that the
range can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary.
• A UL listed conduit connector must be pro-
vided at each end of the power supply cable
(at the range and at the junction box).
• Wire sizes and connections must conform
with the rating of the range (40 amps).
• The wiring diagram is located on the under-
side of the storage drawer or below the
warming drawer in a clear plastic bag.
If connecting to a 4-wire system:
This range is manufactured with the ground
connected to the cabinet. The ground must be
revised so the green grounding wire of the 4-
wire power supply cord is connected to the
cabinet.
Grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited for new branch-circuit installations
(1996 NEC); mobile homes; and recreational
vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor.
When a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA Type 14-
50R is used, a matching UL listed, 4-wire, 250-
volt, 40 amp, range power supply cord (pigtail)
must be used. This cord contains 4 copper
conductors with ring terminals or open-end
spade terminals with upturned ends, terminat-
ing in a NEMA Type 14-50P plug on the supply
end.
The fourth (grounding) conductor must be iden-
tified by a green or green/yellow cover and the
neutral conductor by a white cover.
